Organised by the Broken Hill Early Childhood Education Sector and Child and Family Services, the event involved a variety of leisure activities with a focus on the importance of providing a good start in life.

"It's fabulous to see services collaborating and working together in the best interests of children," Maari Ma Early Years Project Leader Narelle Semmens explained.

"It's about looking at ways of how we can promote the importance of early childhood - recognising that they are the pivotal years of learning.

"We have a very strong message about how talking, singing, reading and playing with your children in the early years is what counts," Ms Semmens added.

The "developmentally appropriate" play experiences for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers engaged the children with positive results.
